The WAC Initiative also seeks to foster a culture of writing at OCAD U by providing resources for faculty and students and showcasing the role of writing in art and design education and practice.

The Writing & Learning Centre (WLC) coordinates the initiative and chairs the Writing Across the Curriculum Steering Committee. The initiative is guided and informed by Writing Across the Curriculum Fellows drawn from the OCAD U Faculty.

One of the first at an art and design institution, the WAC Initiative will establish OCAD University as a leader in writing pedagogy for art and design education.
